Riding for one year, five years, 10 years?

min of 5 to be considered a "rider", 10 to be considered a "motorcyclist", 20 to be a vet...

Not so much time, I am sure there is a minimum - maybe 5 minutes for Twisty and 5 years for the rest of us - but more how you ride, etc...

 

[No Worries]

Should it be miles ridden or years of experience? There was one year I worked so much overtime, I only rode a few times. And I'm sure there are people with motorcycle endorsements who don't ride at all. Riding on dirt, the track, interstates, and streets all give different experiences. I've ridden for years, but I still learn something new all the time.

I agree, there tons for guys I race with that have been doing way longer but still suck. They have no form or dont flow well. I think it is half and half. It should 5 years straight no gaps between riding except for winter and good riding skills. You dont have to fast just smooth. :iagree:

 

[Gas Man]

I'm kinda with ya guys on this...

It's not so much time but how well you ride!!

So A-holes have been riding for years and still suck! Then you put some people on a bike and within a year they're at racing quality riding...
